II. ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 



A. THREATS TO CURRENTLY KNOWN POPULATIONS 



1. GRAZING: Grazing by domestic livestock is not 

 known to pose any current threat to Phlox kelseyi 

 var. missoulensis populations. The plants 

 themselves are likely unpalatable because of their 

 woodiness and hard, pointed leaves. However, 

 trampling associated with heavy grazing could 

 affect this species. 



2. URBAN DEVELOPMENT: The population at Waterworks 

 Hill (002) was threatened by an urban development 

 proposal in the recent past, but this is not a 

 threat currently. 



B. MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND RESPONSE: No information is 

 available on responses to specific management actions. 

 However, Phlox kelseyi var. missoulensis seems to be 

 able to occupy disturbed sites such as old roads (004) 

 and heavily grazed pastures (008) . 



C. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MAINTAINING VIABLE POPULATIONS: 



The following recommendations are made to ensure that 

 the long-term viability of Phlox kelseyi var.
